Continuity: At the beginning of the episode, when Dougal and Ted are discussing names for Dougal's new rabbit, the rabbit keeps moving positions on the table. This happens instantaneously between shots - at one point the rabbit is sitting facing away from Ted, a second later it is sitting facing Ted. moreQuotes:

One of the very best of this sublime series.
Father Ted is to my mind the finest comedy produced in the British Isles since probably Fawlty Towers. The stand-out character for me is Father Jack and he gets much to do and say in this. It also has Len Brennan, which is a plus.
The plot revolves around Jack's nocturnal perambulation and the offence caused (eldery priests should not roam naked at night), Dougal's new pet and it's renowned breeding habits and Len's rabbit phobia.
Dougal has fun finding a good name and decides on 'Father Jack Hackett'. Jack's response when offered water to drink is priceless.
Pure laughter.
